Mother Told Her Mother Told Me

Mother told her mother told me
What was out under the family tree
I don't need this town, I will always find another
Even if I often wander back again
Brother told a brother told me
What was out under the family tree
If you leave this town, you will never find another
Even if you often wander out again

Oh, the love
The way it cuts
Better than a knife
Bleeding for a lifetime

Mother told her mother told me
What was written on the family tree
I don't need this town, I will always find another
Even if I often wander back again
Brother told a brother told me
What was hanging in the family tree
If you leave this town, we will never have to wonder
If the roots are getting water underneath

Oh, the love
The way it cuts
Better than a knife
Bleeding for a lifetime
Better than a knife
Bleeding for a lifetime
Better than a knife
Bleeding for a lifetime
Better than a knife
Bleeding for a lifetime
